Butcher Paper Heart
Unwrap this butcher paper heart
Or simply tear it at the crease
If you've no other use for it
No need to keep it in one piece
Smooth out this butcher paper heart
Match ragged end to ragged end
Turn it into a work of art
Or pen a letter to a friend
Toss out the blood and guts within
You said it seemed like a safe bet
I wouldn't need them anymore
Is that a poem or a threat
Fold up this butcher paper heart
One more for your fleet of paper cranes
A love note bundled like a flag
A childhood fortune telling game
So scared you'd take your scrap away
But darling, you did me one worse
"Hang onto this till I get back"
Is that a promise or a curse
That albatross hung from my sleeve
And just when I'd managed to part
With one I carried for so long
Another butcher paper heart
Or simply tear it at the crease
If you've no other use for it
No need to keep it in one piece
Smooth out this butcher paper heart
Match ragged end to ragged end
Turn it into a work of art
Or pen a letter to a friend
Toss out the blood and guts within
You said it seemed like a safe bet
I wouldn't need them anymore
Is that a poem or a threat
Fold up this butcher paper heart
One more for your fleet of paper cranes
A love note bundled like a flag
A childhood fortune telling game
So scared you'd take your scrap away
But darling, you did me one worse
"Hang onto this till I get back"
Is that a promise or a curse
That albatross hung from my sleeve
And just when I'd managed to part
With one I carried for so long
Another butcher paper heart
